From that information we can now create a wordlist using crunch and deliver the output directly to aircrack-ng without writing the file to the hard drive.

The default wifi passwords of modem/routers provided by ISP's for example can be a target. Therefore, this technique can only be useful if somehow you already have an idea of what the password pattern is. If you don't have crunch yet you can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install crunch If not, I will post another article soon on how to use aircrack-ng to capture WPA2 handshakes.įor now let's get started and open a terminal! I assume you already have aircrack-ng installed on your system and you already have a captured handshake ready for offline cracking.

But before we proceed let me quickly introduce you to our tools:Ĭrunch - is a wordlist generator from a character set.Īircrack-ng - a 802.11 WEP / WPA-PSK key cracker. In this method we will be using both crunch and aircrack-ng inside Kali Linux to brute-force WPA2 passwords.
